Encyclopedia of the McCarthy era
by William K. Klingaman
Encyclopedia of the McCarthy Era is the first single-source, A-to-Z reference to the days of the blacklist, the Hollywood Ten, the Army-McCarthy Hearings and loyalty review boards. Going as far back as the post-World War II years, the book also covers the investigation of Soviet espionage in the U.S. atomic energy program and the activities of the China Lobby following the defeat of Chiang Kai-shek.
With more than 250 in-depth entries, cross-references, a complete chronology, a select bibliography, nearly 100 photographs, appendixes containing documents pertaining to the McCarthy era, and an index, the encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference to a historical period too long overlooked. This valuable resource will provide a solid basis for further research by students and the general reader alike.
